Groups of eight mice were inoculated i.n. with 106 TCID50 of H6 ca viruses. NtAb titers were determined for sera collected 4 weeks after the first dose and 2 weeks after the second dose of vaccination by microneutralization assay in MDCK cells.
Antibody titers against homologous viruses are underlined.
Undetectable titer was assigned as 10.
